I’m going to blaspheme and say that Signals is also on the weaker side, though “Subdivisions” is an all-timer.

Signals is all killer no filler!

It’s a good album, as is Hold Your Fire; but the rest of their 80s albums are great to excellent, IMO.

I’m more with @Jer on this one. My favorites are “Subdivisions,” “The Analog Kid,” and “Losing It,” but this album is a bit weaker, in my opinion.
I’m listening to Presto (1989) now. I once called Power Windows Rush’s Somewhere in Time in terms of sound, and I’m calling Presto Rush’s No Prayer for the Dying in that sense. Of course, it’s far from an exact comparison, but that’s the impression I got while listening to the first couple of songs. I think it’s the way the drums sound? Again, it may not be accurate, but that comparison just popped into my head out of nowhere.

So… now we know why Steve chose the sound of No Prayer, ha ha. And I’m starting to suspect that Rush has an ever-growing influence on him.

Maiden goes Kiss "Dynasty". Wasted Years and Stranger are just immense. Also the Lonellines - omg. Also Deja Vu.

IRON FUNKIN' MAIDEN

I read this was supposed to be the original Balls to Picasso album cover wasn't it?
